My Model Paintings

Given I'm planning to paint my finished 3D models I thought it would be of some interest to look at the model paintings I have previously done.

This standard Dreadnought is the first model I painted and isn't even 100% finished. 
Obviously as my first attempt at painting it isn't amazing, but it isn't bad either. I was able to teach myself a lot of the required techniques for painting models during this painting project.
The original model can be found here.


This Space Wolf Dreadnaught is the 2nd painting I ever did and shows vast improvements in my abilities to paint Warhammer models. This model was much more of a project and included a certain aspect of design. The model itself was very basic, I added a variety of extra details from various kits, designed and custom built the base myself and added the Ork to create a scene. This model wasn't designed or built to be played with but was instead a showcase piece (made for a friend). 
The original Space Wolf Dreadnought can be found here, the Ork in the scene can be found here.







This model was the 3rd one I painted and as with the model before it I incorporated a certain amount of design into it. The model itself was part of a kit involving 4 other units, but I wanted to focus on just one. The scenery around the model isn't included with the kit, I made it using other kits and 'green stuff' (a Games Workshop modelling putty). I put the pictures of this model onto Dakka Dakka, (a wargaming community website) and have received over 4970 views and high 'coolness' votes!
The kit including this original model can be found here.

I have painted one other model since this one but haven't taken any photos of it. I find reviewing my previously painted models helps me in trying to visualize and imagine what I want my finished models to look like. Although I haven't painted many models I am confident that I will be able to paint them to a good standard once they are printed.
